This tender is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 25th March 2020. The tender aims to consolidate various health workforce services, targeting a robust response to health sector workforce challenges. Key details include classifications relevant to time accounting and human resource services, as well as a webinar on 25th March to engage potential suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health HR and workforce management, particularly those offering services like managed learning, occupational health, recruitment solutions, and HR consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be especially well-suited to compete, as the buyer aims to incorporate a diverse range of suppliers to innovate and enhance service delivery within the health sector. ## Notice Crown Commercial Service and NHS Procurement in Partnership are working together to deliver health workforce services under the banner of the Workforce Alliance. The collaboration is to ensure our customers have easy and quick access to a sustainable workforce and is part of a long-term plan to deliver a whole portfolio of health workforce services. The Workforce Alliance has grouped four of its existing frameworks together to form Workforce Support, where we've selected the best aspects of our existing support frameworks and put them in one place as a joint offer under the banner of the Workforce Alliance. The package is aimed at providing customers with a route to source additional services in support of health HR and workforce functions. The Workforce Support Services package brings together four existing CCS frameworks: * Managed Learning Service * Occupational Health, Employee Assistance Programmes and Eye Care * Permanent Recruitment Solutions * HR Management Consultancy (Lot 4 of the wider CCS MCF) We are keen to engage with both current and potential future suppliers of the above referenced, and similar associated, Workforce Support type services to help inform and shape any future offerings by the Workforce Alliance in these areas. At 13:30 on Wednesday 25th March we will be hosting a Webinar to discuss with suppliers' ways in which together we might better support our health sector customers address some of their workforce challenges. We do hope you are able to join us.
